  Nice, seems really smooth.

  As someone who is just getting in iOS development, would you have any recommendations for branching into game development? I see both this, and franzus's game are in C++. Is that common? I just spent a month leanring the basics of the iOS SDK and Obj-C so I was hoping to stay in that realm.

  Great share. I open-sourced some of my iOS games (and the component based framework), too. You can check it out here: https://github.com/jsz/hellstorm
